Can't we just take the PP reports and remove the swearing, politics and libelous comments? That wouldn't leave much😀 |

This is made for Sword. He does write a lovely article Thankyou for your vote of confidence alas my English language skills and grammar would not be up to scratch. What I write is usually complete bollocks and I doubt it would be acceptable to a genuinely serious website like this. I write my pieces for pleasure if I had to do it for real the pressure would affect me. Not a problem, barely an inconvenience. Newspapers do have what are called sub-editors (I am friends with one who works for the South China Morning Post) who can refine the language for the intended audience. I personally had an article published in a magazine last year which when I read back, was edited from my original and I have to say they did a good job. |

I think sword is ideal despite his protestations to the contrary. Maybe what you say would be good enough to help him. How are things in Hong Kong? |

Sadly he would find it too stressful mate an when he has a bad reaction I have to stop what we are doing an head for home it,s the only way to calm him down again. |

I think sword is ideal despite his protestations to the contrary. Maybe what you say would be good enough to help him. How are things in Hong Kong? I will refer you to the reply given to JDL who asked a similar question earlier this week........ Whilst not wishing to digress too far from the core MUFC discussions on this forum, the situation in HK is that everyone is very nervous. We have had 65 confirmed cases of WuFlu here so far and 2 deaths (WTO gave it a name so as not to associate it with the PRC but no-one is fooled). Everyone in the streets is wearing a mask and whilst it may not protect one does it through an act of social solidarity. As you rightly say frequent hand washing is important as virus can live up to 20 minutes outside of the body and so you don't know if that handpole on the bus you just touched was coughed over by someone a few minutes ago. We have gone through the ridiculous internet rumour inspired run on face masks and toilet rolls in shops which all of the Epsilon's fell for. The major problem is that there is no business going on at the moment as no-one is coming from overseas and I had some business meetings in UK cancelled this month as they did not want to meet HK people. Even locally a lot of people are working from home and so no meetings or decisions are being taken. Hopefully matters will improve next month and am hoping to get back for 2 Saturday and a Tuesday game during March. EDIT: As of this morning 69 confirmed cases and 2 deaths. |
